    Hi Erin, I made this and it was delicious – thank you for posting. I used the Middle Eastern Bakery’s Tahini. It is a nice blend of flavors.

    Just made a vegan version of this using coconut milk. I also substituted sweet potatoes for the regular ones. These flavors work incredibly well together. Great recipe!
